The two returned to their rooms after breakfast. It's a holiday today, so Reiz doesn't go to the office.
"Do you have any business today?" Ask Rin. Her husband is usually busy even on holidays.
"No, why?" Reiz asked back.
"Do you want to drive me?"
"Where?"
"To my mother's grave, I miss my mother."
"certain."
**********
Reiz and Rin had already arrived at the burial area. Rin walked first followed Reiz behind him. The cemetery was quite crowded probably due to a holiday.
"Where are you going?" Rin asked who saw her husband turning around.
"I don't want to bother you." The answer.
"You must want to just be alone with 'your mother'." Connect Reiz.
"But you don't go far. I'm afraid someone kidnapped me." Canda Rin's. Reiz chuckled softly at it, leaving the woman stunned.
"Oh my God, my husband. You're so handsome if you laugh like that."
"Hurry up there." Reiz stopped his laughter.
"Remember! Don't go far."
"Yes, Madam."
***********
The man moved his feet towards one of the tombs. He sat on the side of the tomb and cleaned the dried leaves on it.
"Aunty Marissa, how's Aunty there?"
"May God and his angels treat Aunty well." Said Edra while wiping the tombstone.
"Did Aunty know? Did Rexy and Daddy Drake get better? Daddy told me and Mommy yesterday that Rexy has forgiven him. I can see how happy Daddy is. I hope that one day Rexy can also forgive me and Mommy Eliza and also accept us.
I want to be close to him like a brother in general. Like Rexy and Tomi. But I can only see it from a distance."
Edra let out a heavy sigh, it had been years that he wanted to be close to his half-sister. But never could, even Rexy hated him from the very beginning of his arrival.
"And I hope Aunty will forgive me and Mommy. Because we're the cause of Aunty's death."
Edra always took the time to go to Marissa's tomb, he always told stories and also repeatedly apologized. That was all he could do to atone for his guilt for Marissa.
"What are you doing here?"
Edra gasped at the familiar voice. He got up from his seat and turned his body. Someone was standing right before him with his cold gaze.
"Ehm, Mr Rexy you here?" Edra asked trying to melt the stiff atmosphere, let alone look at Reiz's cold gaze at him.
"What are you doing at my mother's grave?" Ask Reiz again. He looked coldly at Edra.
"I'm just visiting." Answer Edra.
"But it looks like my mom doesn't need a visit from you." Reiz replied coldly. Edra was silent as he looked at Reiz, it was only natural that Reiz still hated him.
"sorry. I'll just go." Just as Edra stepped foot, Rin came between them.
"Reiz, are you here?" Rin's question makes Reiz's view turn to his wife.
"Mr Edra?" Rin muttered slowly. Edra stared for a moment at the couple, then left them just like that.
"Reiz, what's wrong with you?" Rin asked who saw her husband shut up. He turned his eyes to the tomb there.
"It's okay. Let's go home." Reiz took Rin by the hand and took his wife away from there.
Along the way home, the two back in silence, occasionally Rin glanced towards Reiz who again put on a flat face.
"What's wrong with Reiz? And what was Edra doing at Madame Marissa's grave?"
**********
Reiz stood staring out the window of his room, saw the lights of a tall building towering and also a vehicle passing by adding to the beauty of the night. Because their mansion is located in the center of the city.
Reiz recalled the incident earlier that afternoon when he met with Edra. Edra, who had been considered a bad man because he had taken Daddy Drake from his mother, was not as bad as his mind.
After hearing all of Edra's words at the tomb, Reiz felt guilty for Edra for always thinking badly of his stepbrother.
"Sister?" Even in his lifetime Reiz never called Edra 'Silver' even though they were both two years old.
A pair of hands coiled around the man's stomach, resuscitating him from the daydream.
"Reiz, what's wrong with you? Since returning from the funeral you've been quiet again. What's up?" Rin asked as she leaned her body behind Reiz's back.
"I'm fine. Don't I always like this." Reply Reiz was back flat. Rin let go of his embrace, turning Reiz's body to face him. In his eyes were the sharp eyes of the man.
"Is it because of Edra? He's your brother, right?" Rin asked making Reiz frown.
"You know where it came from?" Reiz asked back.
"Mommy Tyas told me everything, everything about you." Rin looked inside the man. I heard heavy breathing there.
"Yes, he's my brother."
"Do you hate him?" Ask Rin carefully. Reiz stepped back to Rin.
"Yes, at first I hated him. I used to think Edra was a bad guy, for taking Daddy Drake away from me. But..." Reiz's words were interrupted.
"But in fact it's not as bad as what's on your mind, is it?" Rin came back closer, hugging the body from behind. I felt the warmth of that man.
"What should I do?" Reiz asked with a blank look. Rin let go of his embrace, he stood before Reiz. Tracing that handsome face with his clasped fingers, made Reiz close his eyes feeling Rin's touch.
Reiz opened his eyes, grabbed that hand and grasped it tightly. Rin saw her smiling sweetly at him.
"I think you know what you have to do." Rin answered, looking into her husband's eyes.
Geck... Geck... Tok
The sound of knocking on the door made the two look over.
"Just enter, not in the key." Answer Rin. The door opened, and a servant was there.
"Sorry Mr. Reiz and Miss Rinata, under which Mr. Edra William would like to meet." The servant's words made Rin and Reiz look at each other.
"Tell him to wait a minute." Rin answered with a smile.
"Okay, Miss, I'm sorry." The waiter resigned.
"Let's meet 'Your brother'." Rin pulled her husband's hand.
**********
Edra seemed to be sitting alone in the spacious living room. Sometimes he takes a breath in trying to calm down. There was a fear in his heart, this was the first time he had come to the Anderson mansion. What if Reiz refuses his arrival? But the waiter had asked him to wait, which meant that Reiz wanted to meet him.
Edra got up from his seat as soon as he saw Reiz and Rin walking closer towards him.
"Good night, Mr. Rexy and Miss Rinata." Sapa Edra's.
"Night." Rin replied, while Reiz remained silent.
"Please sit down, Mr. Edra." Connect Rin. The awkward atmosphere was instantly created because Reiz's cold gaze was fixed on Edra.
